European countries

Each of these countries was looking out for themselves while making these pacts. These alliances were said to have been a major reason for the fast-paced development of the war as many countries which had no business in the war were forced to take part in the war. An example of this would be Germany’s alliance with Austria-Hungary, which was one of the first major alliances during WWI. Austria-Hungary were having difficulty controlling Serbia (one of their colonies) when Russia decided to defend Serbia against them, and as they were evidently struggling with these many countries that were against them, Germany decided to act on their alliance with Austria and team up with them against Russia. Alliances in the late 19th century were a form of defence – countries used them in the hopes that other countries would not attack them, knowing them were defended with alliances. They were a method of which European countries practiced the foreign policy known as protectionism. The source is correct in the sense that Germany was one of the first countries to act on the alliance system during WWI, in which they gave Austria “unconditional support, without which may have not allowed the war to develop so quickly. However Germany was not the only country to offer alliances (i.e. Britain and Belgium alliance): and so the complete…

overpopulation and famine. There was barely any time to react as the disease spread swiftly from its point of origin in Asia to Italy, killing massive amounts of people in cites that were overcrowded and ridden with poor sanitation systems. Despite the immense loss that Europeans endured during the Black Death, the political, economic, and religious realms of their society were altered in such a way that ameliorated the lifestyles of the lower classes and guided Europe out of the Medieval Ages. …

Each man represents something different, making his glory or failure not just about him, but also different cultures as a whole. Oroonoko’s grandfather’s participation in polygamy marks him as un-Christian and non-European, an excuse for the negative portrayal of a member of the royal family. Likewise, it is Oroonoko’s affinity for things European that elevates him above his grandfather, making him the more “ideal” African monarch. His monogamy and European-based education make him morally and…
